Aaron Wormus has a quick new post today about a Javascript issue to keep an eye out for - but only in IE (go figure).

When I moved to PHP I just coded perl in PHP, now I'm doing a bit of javascript, and yup I just do PHP in Javascript.

Anyway, today this internet explorer "bug" bit me in the ass Harold's Home | substr() bug in Internet Explorer's javascript. Now according to MSDN that's actually a feature, but it sucks that it doesn't work like you'd think, and more importantly Firefox does.

IT can get confusing jumping between different languages, and the fact that the functions are named the same makes it even worse...
